How do I fit a new washing machine drive belt?

Hi All!

Found a snapped belt in the washing machine (posted about it not going a few weeks back) & have the correct new one, now.

What do I do to re-fit it - looks loike the motor needs to come off & belt on, then motor back on.

Is this right, please?

Thanks in advance.
